Starsplit: Matching Puzzle

FOUR HUNDRED NEW LEVELS, AND FOUR NEW CHAPTERS. Starsplit ends at level 1,000 now, and each of the four new hundreds opens on something the game has never done before. • The Verdant Wake — levels that ask for two goals at once. Neither one finishes it alone. • The Jade Narrows — airlock doors that open and close every few moves, so where the gems fall changes under you. • The Sulphur Drift — a fusion charge, counting down on a single gem. Match it before it reaches zero or it goes off and freezes everything around it. • The Gunmetal Verge — a Space Pirate. It marks a gem and freezes it on its NEXT move, so you get exactly one move to answer. It is the first thing in this game with an intent, and it can be fought: fire a comet up its column and it withdraws. Eight new board shapes, and every one of the new levels was played hundreds of times before it shipped, the same as the first six hundred. Also in this update: • Three stars is more reachable. The two upper marks were re-measured on every level against how a person actually scores rather than how a bot does — no level got harder, and a rating you have already earned is never taken back. • A How to play page in Settings, holding every mechanic the game has explained to you, in the same words it used at the time. • Auto-Finish: when a level has nothing left to earn, you can take the win rather than play out the remaining moves. • A new launch screen, and a long list of fixes to the board — including an airlock that could take a move without giving you anything for it.
